As there has been no response in the last two months to the question from comment 18, I am closing this bug as Invalid. Feel free to reopen by setting the status to Confirmed if you still experience the behavior.
** Changed in: gnome-system-monitor (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-system-monitor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482680 Title: System Monitor won't close through normal methods, I have to kill the process. Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor Ubuntu 9.10 (I can't remember if this problem is unique to 9.10, I think I might have experienced it in 9.04 as well). System Monitor 2.28.0 Trying to close System Monitor either by clicking on the close window X, using the menu Monitor | Quit, pressing CTRL-Q or ALT-F4 produces no result. Apart from that the application is 100% functional. To close it I have to resort to killing its own process in the Processes pane. This doesn't occur all the time and isn't reliably reproducible as far as I can tell.
